I have one of each. The 8GB Fuze goes with me everywhere, it keeps me sane at work and keeps me from road raging when I drive. The 2GB Clip is my gym player, and gets to go places that are too dangerous for the the pretty and shiny Fuze. I am definitely glad to have both, they both have their own little specialty.

And yes, the Clip can withstand a drop from roughly 5 feet 5 inches height. It fell from my shoulder strap...

I also have one of each. The Fuze was my first, and so holds a special place in my heart. Seriously though, I have about 11GB of music on it, and I use it daily. But the Clip is so much lighter, that yes, it will hang from the headphones if your cord is short, and it's light enough that it just bounces. The Fuze is significantly heavier than the CLip. It's not heavy, but in comparison to the Clip it is. So usually I use the Fuze around the house, and the Clip everywhere else. And of course , the Fuze doesn't have a clip. So the shirt pocket thing is ok , as long as you don't lean too far forward and see it fall . If you have hacky-sack skillz you can break it's fall at least. lol
